We'd like to tell you about two exciting new features in TouchDesigner 077, our upcoming TouchDesigner workshop in LA, and exciting new work from our talented and industrious community. Enough said, read on!

DMX AND ART-NET SUPPORT

New DMX In and Out CHOPs give TouchDesigner full control over DMX and Art-Net enabled lights and devices. The DMX In operator will also let TouchDesigner be controlled by any lighting console or software that outputs DMX or Art-Net. DMX Wiki Page

TouchDesigner now includes built-in Kinect operators that work in conjunction with the official Microsoft Kinect SDK. Access to the Kinect's depth and color cameras are provided by the new Kinect TOP, and skeleton and positional data come in through the new Kinect CHOP. Kinect Wiki Page
